Riassunto

This book is a well-illustrated clinical introduction to cranial manipulation techniques that takes the reader through the underlying concepts and examines the techniques themselves. As these techniques become increasingly known and in demand this is the first book that clearly and practically explains them to manual therapy practitioners. An introductory section on the relevant anatomy and physiology is followed by a short history of the development of cranial methodology, as it is relevant to practice today. Specific techniques are outlined in straightforward language and combined with high quality illustrations to show hand positions, direction of motion, etc.
